1 Forever Free Forever Free is a drug treatment program for women who abuse drugs and are incarcerated. The intervention aims to reduce drug use and improve behaviors of women during incarceration and while they are on parole. While they are incarcerated, women participate in individual substance abuse counseling, special workshops, educational seminars, 12-step programs, parole planning, and urine testing. Counseling and educational topics include self-esteem, anger management, assertiveness training, information about healthy versus dysfunctional relationships, abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, codependency, parenting, and sex and health. The program lasts 4-6 months. Women participate in 4 hours of program activities 5 days per week. After graduation and discharge to parole, women may voluntarily enter community residential treatment. Residential treatment services include individual and group counseling. Some women also participate in family counseling, vocational training/rehabilitation, and recreational or social activities.

Los Angeles: UCLA Drug Abuse Research Center. Outcomes Outcome 1: Drug use Description of Measures Key Findings Drug use was measured using structured interviews. Interviewers asked respondents to report frequency of drug use over the past year and during the past 30 days. Respondents were asked about 13 categories of drugs as well as drugs not specified in the categories. In a study of outcomes for 180 women 1 year after their release from prison, 8% of Forever Free participants reported drug use in the past 30 days, compared with 32% of the comparison group (p =.001). A total of 50.5% of Forever Free participants reported any drug use in the past year, compared with 76.5% of comparison group participants (p =.001). In a study of outcomes for 64 women 1 year after their release from prison, a lower percentage of women who had participated in Forever Free and residential aftercare reported any heroin use in the past year (5.3%) than those who had not received aftercare (21.7%) and those in the notreatment comparison group (40.9%). A total of 10.5% of Forever Free plus residential aftercare clients reported past-year amphetamine use, compared with 8.7% of those who did not participate in aftercare and 22.7% of the no-treatment comparison group. A total of 21.0% of Forever Free plus residential aftercare clients reported using cocaine or crack in the past year, compared with 69.5% of those who did not participate in residential care and 50.0% of the no-treatment comparison group. Studies Measuring Outcome Study 1, Study 2 Study Designs Quality of Research Rating Quasi-experimental 2.9 ( scale) Outcome 2: Parole outcomes Description of Measures Key Findings Parole outcome data were collected using a structured interview. "Discharged/active with no return" was considered success. "Discharged/active returned to custody" and "in prison" were considered failures. In one study, reincarceration data were obtained from the Offender-Based Information System (OBIS). In one study, 68.4% of Forever Free graduates who entered residential treatment had not returned
3 to custody 1 year after release on parole; 52.2% of Forever Free graduates who did not enter residential treatment had not returned to custody, while only 27.2% of women in a no-treatment comparison group had not been returned to custody (p <.05). In a second study, 49.5% of Forever Free graduates compared with 74.7% of a no-treatment comparison group reported being arrested in the year following release from prison (p =.001). Studies Measuring Outcome Study 1, Study 2 Study Designs Quality of Research Rating Quasi-experimental 3.2 ( scale) Outcome 3: Employment after incarceration Description of Measures Key Findings Postincarceration employment was assessed with structured interviews. Participants were asked if they were employed, how many hours they worked per week, and the amount of their weekly takehome pay. In a study of outcomes among 180 women 1 year after release from prison, 65.3% of Forever Free participants, compared with 44.7% of comparison group participants, were employed. The groups were equivalent in hours worked per week and weekly take-home pay. Studies Measuring Outcome Study 2 Study Designs Quality of Research Rating Quasi-experimental 2.8 ( scale) Study Populations The following populations were identified in the studies reviewed for Quality of Research. Study Age Gender Race/Ethnicity Study (Adult) 100% Female 38.6% White 37% Black or African American 22.8% Hispanic or Latino 1.6% Race/ethnicity unspecified Study (Adult) 100% Female 34.6% Black or African American 33.6% White 22% Hispanic or Latino 9.8% Race/ethnicity unspecified Quality of Research Ratings by Criteria ( scale) External reviewers independently evaluate the Quality of Research for an intervention's reported results using six criteria: Reliability of measures Validity of measures Intervention fidelity Missing data and attrition Potential confounding variables Appropriateness of analysis For more information about these criteria and the meaning of the ratings, see Quality of Research. Outcome Reliability of Measures Validity of Measures Fidelity Missing Data/Attrition Confounding Variables Data Analysis Overall Rating 1: Drug use

5 Readiness for Dissemination Ratings by Criteria ( scale) To learn more about research, contact: External reviewers independently evaluate the intervention's Readiness for Dissemination using three criteria: Availability of implementation materials Availability of training and support resources Availability of quality assurance procedures For more information about these criteria and the meaning of the ratings, see Readiness for Dissemination. Implementation Materials Training and Support Resources Quality Assurance Procedures Overall Rating Dissemination Strengths The program uses best-practice materials from a variety of expert resources targeted to this specific population. Some training materials are provided for topic areas relevant to the intervention. A client satisfaction survey and a standardized therapeutic community fidelity measure are provided to support quality assurance. Dissemination Weaknesses The program materials are specific to one implementation site and may not be easily adapted or transferred to other implementation sites. The relationship between the submitted program materials is unclear. While implementation, program goals, and recommendations for staffing are addressed in some of the materials, the guidance across these materials is inconsistent. No support resources specific to the program and its implementation are provided. The connection between the quality assurance measures provided and the program model is unclear. Materials state that one implementation site was engaged in external quality reviews, but no standards or protocols for evaluation or quality assessment are provided. Costs The cost information below was provided by the developer. Although this cost information may have been updated by the developer since the time of review, it may not reflect the current costs or availability of items (including newly developed or discontinued items). The implementation point of contact can provide current information and discuss implementation requirements. Item Description Cost Required by Developer Implementation materials, training, technical assistance/consultation, and quality assurance materials Contact the developer Contact the developer Additional Information Forever Free was designed as an integrated system of services including multiple interventions. The cost of the program is $17 per day per participant. Most women stay in treatment between 3 and 6 months, yielding a total per-client cost of $1,500 to $3,000.
